<h2>How humans recognize faces</h2>
<img src="../../static/faces.jpg" style="float:right; margin:2px; " width="280" height="200"/>
<p>When identifying faces, many humans go through similar tactics when evaluating a face. Many of these tactics and areas that they focus on become factors when remembering the faces and help to identify them in the future. The primary focus of humans, in a physical sense, is mostly the inner features on the face, focusing the most on the eyes followed closely by the nose and the mouth. Moving away from the features of the face, the general shape, mainly the jaw line, becomes a factor as well. When taking a photo into account, the human mind also processes facial orientation differently with a full upright frontal view the easiest to identify against a ¾ view or upside down view of the face. With all of these facial components in mind, the human mind identifies faces in a very strategic way.</p>
